After a live stream from a haunted hospital, Jill has found herself not just investigating hauntings, but dealing with the fact that ghosts are real. Some of them could even use her help, too, but when she tries to do something for a ghost who’s been following her, she starts to see some of the more unsettling sides of ghosts in visual novel Perceptions of the Dead 2.

Perceptions of the Dead 2 will have you working to find Jill’s missing friend, Tyrone, while also doing what they can to help out a spirit in need. Doing this will require a little help from Jill’s friends to get the job done, and you can get to know these charming, quirky people while you’re all working together. Just be careful of the decisions you make involving these people, as you can accidentally change the course of the story in some dangerous ways with some seemingly innocuous choices.Perceptions of the Dead 2 is gorgeous to behold with some truly wonderful characters and connections between them, offering a narrative treat for those who like stories of friendship and scary things like living in the world of the dead. But with great pals, including some less-than-living ones, is it really all that scary any more?
